If you didn't already know the answer to this question before attempting
this, then why are you attempting to use BTRFS? Think about that for a
moment.
BTRFS is an experimental filesystem. It doesn't even have a repair
utility yet, and there is still tons and tons of work to be done on it
before it is anything close to a "production quality" filesystem.
Worth reading:

Also, for anyone planning on playing with experimental software, it
would be a very smart thing to subscribe to the mailing list to stay up
to date on what is and is not working:
https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Btrfs_mailing_list
Last point I'll make is that the bulk of BTRFS' advanced features gain
you little to nothing when used for a root filesystem.
